I did this at the beginning of December, I really hate winter, especially when it's been soooooo cold! When I was working on this we were having -9 degrees over night!!!! Maybe I should rephrase and say I hate the cold!!! Now if we get up to 40 degrees it seems really warm!!!

I will continue to post spring and summer pictures and when we're having a blizzard and I'm sick of snow I can come here and bask in the sun! :)</span></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7909856153260395100-3802121783359895582?l=purplepaint-foreverspring.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07481861119884786734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7909856153260395100.post-28262466815111385602008-06-15T08:32:00.008-06:002008-12-09T19:06:49.032-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUpLYW1-pI/AAAAAAAAA78/2flTc3gh_18/s1600-h/Spring+Challenge+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212117419244780178" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUpLYW1-pI/AAAAAAAAA78/2flTc3gh_18/s400/Spring+Challenge+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUpHL0DnDI/AAAAAAAAA70/xiLsUVxi2VM/s1600-h/mother%27s+lottery+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212117347158170674" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUpHL0DnDI/AAAAAAAAA70/xiLsUVxi2VM/s400/mother%27s+lottery+1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUo2gJJkeI/AAAAAAAAA7s/8exE-_ek0sE/s1600-h/May+challenge+-+fabatcs121.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212117060557574626" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUo2gJJkeI/AAAAAAAAA7s/8exE-_ek0sE/s400/May+challenge+-+fabatcs121.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUocfdDGOI/AAAAAAAAA7k/WAg7jA24HiM/s1600-h/Melinda%27s+fab+postcard.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212116613696002274" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUocfdDGOI/AAAAAAAAA7k/WAg7jA24HiM/s400/Melinda%27s+fab+postcard.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUoDpRsmxI/AAAAAAAAA7c/rNVRbF0nwiw/s1600-h/Bee+crazy.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212116186836015890" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUoDpRsmxI/AAAAAAAAA7c/rNVRbF0nwiw/s400/Bee+crazy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUn_gj_0PI/AAAAAAAAA7U/blD-Z3BMGks/s1600-h/beaded+dragonfly.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212116115777376498" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUn_gj_0PI/AAAAAAAAA7U/blD-Z3BMGks/s400/beaded+dragonfly.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">These are some fabric ATCs and postcards that I have done in the past for swaps. </span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7909856153260395100-2826246681511138560?l=purplepaint-foreverspring.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07481861119884786734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7909856153260395100.post-46861168033672319052008-06-15T08:27:00.003-06:002008-12-09T19:06:49.205-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUnCNIGkCI/AAAAAAAAA7M/L-ozK1tWHKs/s1600-h/Crazy+quilt+fabatcs121+0608.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212115062588084258" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFUnCNIGkCI/AAAAAAAAA7M/L-ozK1tWHKs/s400/Crazy+quilt+fabatcs121+0608.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">If it's got flowers it belongs on this blog.

This is one of my hard working leather gloves, this was my morning sketch for today. I use heavy duty gloves. These have put in windows, cut down trees, raked up endless piles of pine needles, cut out sod, hauled wheelbarrows full of dirt, moved rock, dug in the dirt and planted rose bushes....... you get the idea. Now if only they could do it while I stand by and watch!!!! LOL! I used to try and use regular gardening gloves which I would blow holes in the fingers the first or second day, then I discovered these wonderful heavy duty leather gloves! </span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7909856153260395100-515222196235001309?l=purplepaint-foreverspring.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07481861119884786734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7909856153260395100.post-44644954442707714272008-06-14T07:02:00.005-06:002008-12-09T19:06:50.639-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFPByBgVVHI/AAAAAAAAA6c/aI1LuLWBk1Y/s1600-h/lilacs+3.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211722258939466866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFPByBgVVHI/AAAAAAAAA6c/aI1LuLWBk1Y/s400/lilacs+3.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFPByBgVVHI/AAAAAAAAA6c/aI1LuLWBk1Y/s1600-h/lilacs+3.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFPBqfX0LzI/AAAAAAAAA6U/8XTt75jVCas/s1600-h/lilacs+2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211722129517850418" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFPBqfX0LzI/AAAAAAAAA6U/8XTt75jVCas/s400/lilacs+2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFPBjWyIrrI/AAAAAAAAA6M/OXZq_PNLEU4/s1600-h/lilacs+1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5211722006953242290" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SFPBjWyIrrI/AAAAAAAAA6M/OXZq_PNLEU4/s400/lilacs+1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">I love the smell of lilacs!

Well first I had to convince dear hubby that we needed one (that took a couple of years) and then I had to dig out all the sod. Ugh! Then of course haul in good topsoil, fence it in to keep the dog, deer and rabbits out and plant my seeds. At least next year it will be so much easier! I'll just have to add some good stuff to the dirt and plant away! :D </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">This is in the back yard which is already fenced in so I don't think I have to worry about the deer, the wild rabbits have been waiting outside the fence to see what is going to be growing. I can just picture Peter and his siblings! If they do decide to get in I don't stand a chance, they can dig really fast! Then I'll have to use liquid fence which is made with rotten eggs and stinks to high heaven! So hopefully I don't have to resort to that...........</span></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7909856153260395100-6096125356851380545?l=purplepaint-foreverspring.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marvahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07481861119884786734noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7909856153260395100.post-28750421392362870812008-05-27T08:57:00.003-06:002008-12-09T19:06:51.294-07:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SDwhZui0Q5I/AAAAAAAAA3A/TtDBREgAUKI/s1600-h/spring+pansies+0508.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205071995207959442" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_uVeF4DY8q_I/SDwhZui0Q5I/AAAAAAAAA3A/TtDBREgAUKI/s400/spring+pansies+0508.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc66cc;">I love pansies!
